Just finished up 3 more to end my day of turning. I'm really happy with how they all came out and hope yall agree.

First is a Blk Ti Jr. Gent II RB with one of my blanks. I had a friend ask me to make him something suitable for a wedding pen. This was one of my extras. I reverse painted it flat black to help subdue all that pearl.

Next is a Chrome & Blk Ti Aero. The blank is one of my suspended animation blanks. I used a warm Ivory color for the reverse painting. There isn't any white in the actual blank, that's all from the paint.

Last is a Blk Ti Stretch RB. I'm really happy with everything but my choice of paint on this one. This is also a suspended animation blank. I used a light metallic blue for reverse painting, and although it does it's job well I'm just not a huge fan of the overall color. I think using a much darker color would have made this a bit more striking and would have really shown the depth of this pen.

Those are all spectacular.

If your really not happy with the last one, feel free to send it my way..... lol

I really think that Aero with the Ivory paint was perfect. Really sets the blank off.

Thanks yall! I've got 1 more ready to turn tomorrow. I'm a bit nervous with it though. I want it to be one of my submissions for the IAP contest so I know it has to be absolutely perfect!

I just finished prepping 2 blanks for that... Now the pressure is really on, wonder if yours could get lost in the mail lol.

All joking aside you do fabulous work. Can't wait to see what you've come up with.

That suspended looks amazing! It's always amazing how these turn out with a change in color from the reverse. The suspended ones really made a difference.
